[Lyric] Lord Licorices Lament (King Lollipop)

[VERSE 1]
SWEET, IS THE ROAD WHERE I COME FROM
AND YOU CAN TAN YOUR TOOTSIE ROLL ON THE CANDY SUN
I BUILT THIS PLACE FROM BUBBLEGUM
HOT CHOCOLATE BATH WHEN THE DAY IS DONE
THE ONLY THING MISSING IS A LITTLE QUEEN
TO SIT BENEATH MY GUMBALL MACHINES
BUT SOMETHING WENT WRONG WITH MY HEART YOU SEE
COS I JUST DONT LOVE ANYONE BUT ME

[Chorus]
HOW MANY LICKS WOULD IT TAKE TO GET
TO THE CENTER OF MY HEART?
I CAN FEEL IT TRYING TO BEAT YET
THROUGH THE LOLLIPOP SHELL, SWEET AND TART
HOW MANY LICKS DOES IT TAKE TO GET
TO THE CENTER OF MY HEART?
WELL, THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW

[VERSE 2]
WELL, THE GUMDROP DOCTOR AND HIS PEPPERMINT MEN
HAD TO OPEN UP MY CHEST AGAIN
THEY FOUND MY HEART GLAZED OVER WITH A CANDY GEM
THEY SAID "LICK, DON'T BITE, OR THAT'LL BE YOUR END!"
I SUMMONED ALL THE GOOD SOLDIERS MADE OF GINGERBREAD
"CAN YOU LICK THRU THE CENTER OF MY HEART?" I SAID
EACH ONE TRIED BUT ONLY FAILED
I LAY BACK ON MY MARSHMALLOW THRONE AND WAILED
[Chorus]
HOW MANY LICKS WOULD IT TAKE TO GET
TO THE CENTER OF MY HEART?
I CAN FEEL IT TRYING TO BEAT YET
THROUGH THE LOLLIPOP SHELL, SWEET AND TART
HOW MANY LICKS DOES IT TAKE TO GET
TO THE CENTER OF MY HEART?
WELL, THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW

[VERSE 3]
WELL, I DON'T WANNA LIVE HERE NO MORE
THIS LONELY LIFE HAS LEFT ME SORE
SO MAYBE TONIGHT ILL LURE A CHILD HERE
TO EAT MY CANDY HEART, SO DEAR

[Chorus]
HOW MANY LICKS WOULD IT TAKE TO GET
TO THE CENTER OF MY HEART?
I CAN FEEL IT TRYING TO BEAT YET
THROUGH THE LOLLIPOP SHELL, SWEET AND TART
HOW MANY LICKS DOES IT TAKE TO GET
TO THE CENTER OF MY HEART?
WELL, THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW
